Mobile phones are still phones. 5G devices need the ability to fall back to LTE when network support isn’t available. Here’s how and why.
Amplifiers drive mixers and multipliers
The AMM-7199 and AMM-7200 series from Marki Microwave drive downstream components in mmWave RF systems
5G and COVID-19 changed semiconductor test
In this video, 5G Technology World spoke with Marvin Test CEO Steve Sargeant about how the company adapted to mass production of mmWave devices and how the pandemic changed its methods of technical support.
5G mmWave brings PCB manufacturing challenges
5G can be up to 100 times faster than 4G with 100 times higher data capacity and latency of under one millisecond. What does this mean for PCBs?
Add UWB hardware and software to IC designs
CEVA’s Riviera Waves IP lets you add an Ultra-Wideband digital PHY and hardware/software MAC layer to an IC design for use in low-power devices.
NXP adds GaN to 5G amplifier modules
Multi-chip module integrates GaN on top of LDMOS to improve power amplifier energy efficiency.
Future connectivity: More than just 5G
At the 2021 (virtual) IEEE Microwave Symposium, the industry looked at where wireless is going and how it will get beyond 5G.
How to specify a high-frequency PCB
As frequency increases, the effects of PCBs gain in importance for signal fidelity. Specifying PCB material, signal power and return planes, and signal layout all play a role.
Students and researchers depend on test equipment
In a video interview with Wilson Lee of Tektronix, EE World shows how COVID-19 brought about remote learning, and with it, remote operation of lab equipment at universities.
Antenna transmits, receives 915 MHz ISM and LoRaWAN signals
The Fera antenna from Antenova uses a flexible design that can fit into small spaces.
